Event Calendar

Drexel Barber Shop Fundraiser

If you love bluegrass music, you will want to mark your calendars for June 25th!

Historic Burke Foundation is hosting a fund raiser for the Drexel Barber Shop at The Drexel Fairgrounds. Regular musicians that gather to jam at the barber shop on Saturdays, including The Barber Shop Gang, will be playing at this event.

Money raised will help the Drexel Barber Shop pay for repairs that the barber shop must make to keep it operating. We hope that many of you will come out and support the Drexel Barber Shop!

 

Current Exhibit

The current gallery exhibit “North Carolina School for the Deaf: Then and Now” focuses on the rich history of the North Carolina School for the Deaf.  The exhibit was made possible through a collaborative effort of Historic Burke Foundation and the North Carolina School for the Deaf Historical Museum.  

The exhibit committee included volunteers Lynne Galvin, Coordinator/Instructor of Interior Design at Western Piedmont Community College and Paisley Holloway, a student in Interior Design at Western Piedmont. 

The exhibit was mounted with invaluable assistance from Terrell Finley, Director of Mountain Gateway Museum in Old Fort, and Matthew Provancha , Museum Technician/Mount Maker with Mountain Gateway Museum.
